This would be a very interesting experiment. It
might reveal some things about bilinear filters
and dithering that chip engineers use. (Rendition
has had the reputation for having a 'nicer'
looking bilinear filter than 3dfx... Is this due
to the post-pixel-dithering? Or is the filter
itself actually different?) I am a bit curious
about how you would accomplish multitexture modes
other than src_alpha + 1-src_alpha... Eww! What
about combining light-mapping and
bi-mipmap-blending? (I guess you couldn't legally
call it tri-linear-mipmapping right?)
